every season i think i fall more out of love with the prem, it is ridiculous up there i fully expect city and the money spunking arabs to win the league for the next 5 consecutive seasons, winning by 19 points is ridiculous, the way managers get sacked is also ridiculous everton could do with a relegation coupled with west ham give there fans really something to cry about.

Feck knows what the expectations of the Evertonians are, but given where they were when Big Sam took over and where they finished then they should have offered him at least another two year deal. Some clubs need to have a reality check and ask themselves what there expectations are each season.

Think he has had ridiculously bad press this season for doing an excellent job. When he took over they were awful and heading one way. Not only did he turn that around he also took them to the very top of the mini league he realistically ever had a chance of getting them to.

After turning Palace around in massively difficult position last season (I reckon pretty much anyone else would have taken them down).

His football may not be the best but he is amazingly effective.

agreed, the only team he could realistically have finished above and didn't was Burnley

Alladyce is a superb manager no question, Everton (as well as West Ham and Newcastle) for some reason think they’re deserving of finishing above “the best of the rest” league. It astonishes em how he still gets stick.
